Oh this is the one I have. It's a little big but you can do tons of things with it and it will last a lot longer. The price is great too. I recommend it!
3rd gen i5s are great for most uses. Don't need a gaming rig, and if you're lugging it around all day, weight becomes an issue.
Mine is great! The only thing I still need my HP laptop for is filing taxes electronically using TurboTax. Hopefully by next year I'll have another solution. I suggest you get the Samsung ARM chromebook ($250). It's like a tablet with a keyboard. Very light, no spinning hard drive, no fan, doesn't get hot, very good keyboard. Or you could wait until the Google conference next month and see what's in the pipeline. My understanding is new models will be announced then.
So what's better Asus, hp, toshiba, Lenovo? Or is it on personal preference. I saw two deals. One at frys, toshiba for $300 and best buy had an hp for $300. I didn't know if they're good deals but I'm not on computer so I can't post the deals.
I would personally go for the HP or Lenovo. Depends on the details And what processor it has and what not
They'll all generally use the same hardware, though I've found Toshiba screens to be quite nice. What varies usually is how much crap preinstalled software and 'utilities' they can load up. Personally, I have found Lenovos to be rather reliable.
Are these good deals? http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+15...rive/8808193.p?id=1218897640426&skuId=8808193 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pa...rive/8391284.p?id=1218874428778&skuId=8391284 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/HP+-+Pa...5&skuId=6941709&st=hp pavillion g6 &cp=1&lp=2 http://www.frys.com/product/7533416?site=sa:adpages page:P37_MON date:041513 and this dude is offering me a hp pavillion g6-2225nr amd dual core 15'6 320gb dvd drive windows 8 for 350 brand new. Good deal?
Toshiba and Asus have been voted the more reliable notebooks by consumers. HP and lenovo are mid-tier brands. I'd probably rank it Toshiba > ASUS > lenovo > HP.
Saw this on slickdeals. Looks like a great buy http://www.ebay.com/itm/39056542703...5335869999&campid=5335869999&afepn=5335869999
This is a better deal. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834230909 ASUS K55 Series K55N-BA8094C Notebook AMD A-Series A8-4500M(1.90GHz) 15.6" 4GB Memory 500GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi AMD Radeon HD 7640G AMD A8-4500M 1.9GHz(mobile quad-core processor) 4GB DDR3 500GB AMD Radeon HD 7640G 2 x USB 3.0
keep an eye out for cow boom laptop sales. Very nice deals for used lap pies and if you get a stinker. They have a 30 day grace period.
hey guys, so i just purchased this laptop --- > http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Lenovo+...003409&skuId=7906042&st=lenovo n580&cp=1&lp=1 do you think it was a good deal and worth it?
It's a little late now to ask unless you're going to return it. But if you want to learn more at the expense of buyer's remorse, I'd google your processor...in this case google your computer model "N580" to find the processor "B960"... and the word "benchmark" and see where it compares with other processors. There's also a difference in generations for the pentium "i" series. And by "buyers remorse", everyone gets it because laptop prices always shift by the month. It's a good deal, and doing more research helps you target your needs.
website say that it is 340, you said you payed 400. I would talk to best buy if they just changed the price on it today.
Cj Larson said I paid 400, I never said what I payed. I just gave a link to what I bought. I payed 340.
